I rushed out the house looking for Harry, following the way i knew he would take with the note scrunched up tightly in my hand.

"Where are you going? What was on the paper?" Eleanor shouted after me. She began to chase me, grabbing my hand to try and talk to me. "Come on Lou, it can't be that important! You promised me a catch up session!"

I slowed down to shake her away from me. She gave a little annoyed grunt when i shook my hand from her grasp but i ignored her, continuing the route i knew Harry to have taken while hopeing he was still okay.

"If you're really that desperate, you can talk at me while i look for him. But this is extremely important. Don't get in my way."

She clapped happily and rushed to keep up with me. "Oh my God, university has been amazing! The lessons are so much fun, and I've made loads if new friends - theres this one guy, Peter, he's really smart!"

"That's great El."

"Well yeah, because he's so smart he's made this, like, i don't know how to explain it but it's like a TARDIS or something because it changes stuff and-"

"Can you just shut up for one moment please?" I asked her. I was slightly lost but without her rambling in her ear i managed to gather my bearings and I knew Harry wouldn't be far away.

Eleanor and I hadn't left much later than Harry had, and considering he was walking and we were running we should have defiantly caught up with him by now. 

Rounding the corner my heart filled with relief when i saw his distinct curls in the short distance. "Harry!" I called out, though he didn't seem to hear. I sped up to try and catch up with him, panicking more and more. "Harry Styles, for Gods sake turn round!" 

Harry whipped round, now obviously hearing me. He saw the panic and terror spread across my face and instantly rushed towards me.

"Louis? What's going on?"

"It's her." 

I handed him the paper, my hand shaking, checking the area around me while he read it. Everyone just seemed normal, Eleanor standing beside me with her arms crossed looking slightly annoyed and a few people staring and pointing.

 Focusing in on Harry’s face again i saw exactly what i always had and always expected when it came to her; fear, despair and worry.

“Really? After all this time i give up.” Harry sighed, crumpling up the little note and throwing it on the floor.

“What do you mean you give up?” i practically screamed at Harry. My hands flew to my head in anger, my heart sinking and crashing. What was he saying? He was just going to let her take us?

“I mean, a final showdown or something. Show her we are not a force to be messed with.” 

“Are you insane? This is real life, not some country and western film! She’s clearly shown unnatural powers and you think we can take her on?”

“No, but we’re famous Lou! We could get help-”

“Who from, all our twelve year old fans? No! It’s too dangerous! I refuse to loose you again!”

He seemed defeated, lost. I realized, once Harry ran out of other options he would always fight back. When ever we got into an argument and couldn’t reach a compromise he would end up screaming at me, that was his way of fighting without any one getting hurt. But he was past those precautions now, as was I. We just wanted this over. We wanted her gone.

I reached out to take his hand and began slowly walking again in the direction of home. 

“Excuse me!” i heard Eleanor screech from behind me.

Sighing, i turned around to face her, cocking my eyebrows and throwing her a dirty look.

“What Eleanor? Can you not see we’re a little bit busy right now?”

Her face bloomed red, her eyebrows dipping and showing her anger, as her mouth open wide and a sea of insults and angry protests flew out.

“You gay little faggots! I can not fucking believe you! You promised me that we would talk and that this wouldn’t turn into more ‘Harry and Louis’ time. But one shitty little note and you instantly drop me for him, once again! It’s like we’re dating all over again! It’s fine to hang out with me while he’s busy, but the second he wants you that’s it, bye bye Eleanor! Well no, not this time! I was perfectly prepared to be civil or friends with you, but that is it. No amount of money or bribes or whatever will make me go away this time. I am pissed off beyond comprehension! Good bye Louis Tomlinson, because next time i see you i will be in your fucking nightmares!”

Eleanor stormed off in the other direction, huffing to herself as Harry and I looked on.

She was ridiculous, overly dramatic, and honestly a total bitch. I got her point, i really did - i was awful to her at points in our relationship, and I had left her just to hang out with Harry many times. But clearly there was something very wrong today with this note and all she was interested in talking about was uni and guys and other stuff that really wasn’t priority. And nothing, nothing, would ever give her the right to use ‘faggots’. It was offensive and although i didn’t find it all that insulting she didn’t know i wouldn’t. She meant it in a way that implied we, Harry and I, were not acceptable, which would never be okay.

“I don’t believe her.” Harry spat. “Pathetic bitch.”

“I know she is.” I agreed. “But we have more serious things to worry about. Lets go find the other boys and show them that note. Have you still got it?”

“Yep,  right here - Oh crap!”

The little note flew out his hand through the air, floating down to the pavement. Harry ran after it, chasing it until it landed gently down in front of him. He bent down to pick it up and reach for it, but not before picking up a notepad that had been dropped on the floor.

“Don’t be a peasant Haz, put the floor crap down again.” I frowned at him.

“Come here.”

Sighing, i walked over to where Harry was and bent down, resting my hand on his shoulder and looking at the notepad in his hands.

Harry rested P’s letter on the notepad, lining the tears at the top of the letter with the tears at the bottom of last page ripped out the pad.

A perfect match.

Which meant P was here.
